Warfusion Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 Hey guys. I've been testing out backtrack 4 in vmware workstation and I'm having a problem with getting my wireless to work with the vm when i check it shows nothing available. Any ideas or solutions???? Quote
h3%5kr3w Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 dude... Please tell me your having a problem in vmware settings for wireless.. Backtrack or any other OS as a VM only needs to use the ethernet network as setup per vmware. Quote
Warfusion Posted December 4, 2009 Author Posted December 4, 2009 I have done other OS in vmware and they all work fine its only Backtrack that wants to give me a problem. Quote
h3%5kr3w Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 oh... my bad. um.... do this: (I hate setting up wifi/internet in backtrack) iwconfig -A see if it shows your wifi *may be shown as ath0* If it shows it do this: sudo dhcpd3 wlan0 start *or replace wlan0 with whatever your wifi card is* it may also be necessary to do this: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up if your using backtrack 4, then dhcpd3 is not the right command. Just type dhcp<tab> and see what it gives you and it's something close to it I believe. Havent really messed with it in awhile, but wicd sucks sometimes at seeing my wifi card. hope this helps, and sry bout the last post. I need to start being more helpful, just didnt know if you were a bot. Quote
